iPhone!

For a while now I have been thinking about an iPhone- not something I need but something I would love. So today I succumbed and have been playing ever since (although I have had to put it down when my daughter asked whether she could sit on the naughty step- any attention is good attention...)

Resolved to Sew....

I couldn't resist posting after reading Ali's post on her blog http://veryberryhandmade.co.uk/2012/01/16/giveaway-resolved-to-sew-2012/#comments. And to be honest it has done me good to be tempted back into my little blog that has been more than a little neglected....
piecing a photographThis year I think it should probably be resolved to blog rather than sew- last year was fairly productive and even ended in Christmas presents that were just about good enough to give without adding an apology note!

But thinking about the sewing, my main challenge is to finish my first big quilt for my bed- so far just a basic patchwork and all squares cut, and some even sewn, but it seems a long, long way off completion. I am daunted by the size, but love the fabric and so this will be my most satisfying accomplishment sewing-wise (if it ever does get finished).

My other sewing resolutions will be to cut into some of my precious fabric that I just can't find a good enough use for- rather than just pulling them out of the drawer, looking and sighing and putting them back.
And finally my last resolution is to have a go at paper piecing - just love this image from pinterest (and to curb my pinterest addiction....but that may take longer)
Let see what 2012 brings!
